Until about 1950, sugar coating was the first choice as coating agent for pharmaceutical preparation and much time & efforts were spent in perfecting the sugar coating techniques. Nobody ever was concerned about the problems like material cost, toxic effect due to coating or pollution etc. because the solvent used was always water. However, sugar coating technique was time consuming, affecting ...

To improve the surface properties of 5083 aluminum, Al0.8FeCrCoNiCu0.5Yx (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2) high-entropy alloy coatings were prepared by laser cladding. The phase structure microstructure characterized XRD SEM. tribological coating tested a friction wear tester. An electrochemical workstation corrosion resistance coating. results show that when Y content is less than 0.2, in FCC1, BCC1...

The multilayer antimony-doped tin dioxide coating was obtained by cathodic deposition of multilayer metal-hydroxide coating with near 100-nm thickness layers on the alloy underlayer accompanied by the anodic oxidation of this coating. The potential regions of deposition of tin, antimony, tin-antimony alloy, and mixture of this metals and their hydroxides in the pyrophosphate-tartrate electrolyt...

The crevice correction is a common type of localized corrosion which costs multibillion dollar losses in many different fields including aerospace, automobile, and building structures. The crevice geometry can easily catch moisture and impurity which accelerates the chemical corrosion. It is one of the dangerous corrosions that can cause sudden failure of the products and involve the human inju...

Coated tool inserts can be considered as the backbone of machining processes due to their wear and heat resistance. However, defects of coating can degrade the integrity of these inserts and the number of these defects should be minimized or eliminated if possible. Recently, the advancement of coating processes and analytical tools open a new era for optimizing the coating tools. First, an over...

Electrochemical coating processes are significantly affected by applied magnetic fields due to the generation of electromagnetic forces. The present research work has been undertaken to study the effect of coating parameters such as current density and alumina concentration on the characteristics of Ni-Al2O3 composite coating under static magnetic field. Ni-Al2O3 composite coating was applied o...

PURPOSE The polypropylene mesh (PPM) is used in many surgical interventions because of its good incorporation and accessibility. However, potential mesh-related complications are common. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) improves the healing of wounds and is inexpensive. Thus, the purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the PRP-gel coating of a PPM on inflammation, production of collagen, a...

Mode selection of guided waves in an elastic steel plate with thick coating layer has been studied here. E€ect of both thick elastic coating and damping of the coating layer on the dispersion and mode shapes has been investigated and modes that are less a€ected by elastic coating and damping have been identi®ed. For modeling the viscoelastic behavior of the coating layer, the standard linear so...

The host response to calcium silicate ceramic coatings is not always favorable because of their high dissolution rates, leading to high pH within the surrounding physiological environment. Recently, a zinc-incorporated calcium silicate-based ceramic Ca2ZnSi2O7 coating, developed on a Ti-6Al-4V substrate using plasma-spray technology, was found to exhibit improved chemical stability and biocompa...

Coating shrinkage upon drying is a phenomenon well known to the paper coating industry where it often causes changes in the final structure of the coating layer, leading to poor results in terms of gloss, light scattering, surface strength, coverage and printability. The aim of this paper is to improve the understanding of coating shrinkage by measuring the forces related to the capillarity, ac...
